Four years after Malcolm Merlyn’s death, Star City has found peace—but Tommy Merlyn hasn't. He still blames the Green Arrow for killing his father, unaware the man behind the hood is his closest friend, Oliver Queen. When crime lord Roman Sionis resurfaces, he places a hit on Tommy to end the Merlyn legacy. Slade Wilson accepts the contract. But before he can strike, Helena Bertinelli arrives in Star City—seeking revenge on Slade for her father’s murder. Oliver, still operating in secret, races to protect Tommy. With Dinah Drake—already fighting by his side as Black Canary—and the volatile Helena, Oliver walks a tightrope: shielding Tommy while hiding the truth. As attacks escalate and secrets unravel, Tommy learns his father’s legacy was darker than he ever knew. Sionis’ vendetta stems from Malcolm’s betrayal years ago, a betrayal that cost lives. Tommy must choose—follow in his father’s footsteps or forge a new path. In a final battle, Slade wounds Tommy. As Oliver fights to protect him, Slade gains the upper hand, tears off the hood—and reveals Oliver to Tommy. Stunned, Tommy runs. Fueled by desperation, Oliver defeats Slade but must flee before the police arrive. In the shadows, the hunt begins anew. A darkened room. A figure steps forward: Malcolm Merlyn, alive. He’s greeted by a man with a sly grin—Floyd Lawton. “You sure you want Oliver Queen dead?” Malcolm smirks. “I’m sure.”
